PHP North East Conference 2013
19 Mar 2013 at The Tyneside Cinema

I hope I never meet the hybrid developer.

Great talk, key point to take away - "enjoy what you do"

Good talk, a little too much content for the time available, felt you rushed through a few elements, however useful overall.

Great talk. Excellently presented and useful insights. Handy api links too.

Great talk, covering a full spectrum of API-relatedtopics! Very well done!

Rowan might not have had shown the passion of a Cal Evans or Michaelangelo van Dam. That might have detracted slightly as a keynote (perhaps I've been spoiled at other conferences);
but his talk was filled with good advice and suggestions to make ourselves better developer, spiced and peppered with his inimitable sense of humour. All stuff that we can do ourselves, in our own lives, from code kata to contributing to the OS and PHP communities and everything inbetween. A mix of advice linked to the game/cinema while "building" his ideal developer; but with reference to real world projects, and real world people.

Loved the Brian Blessed beard (sadly missed my own beard on my way here in the chilly Newcastle morning).

And above all, "Enjoy what you do".

A lot of very relevant and interesting points made, delivered in an entertaining and humorous way. Really enjoyed it - thanks!

Excellent keynote, it is amazing how Rowan always themes his slides with something completely unrelated and then it always turns out to fit in perfectly. Well done

Great opening keynote, loved the layered build up, always a pleasure to hear the things I 'go on about' being reinforced, warm shiny :)
